I’m a broken record on this, but Peter Drahos predicted this outcome in his 2021 book Survival Governance: The US (Canada even moreso) are simply too embedded in a carbon economy to resist the all-encompassing political and economic pressures. And so we get short-sighted policies and politicians.

I am very much against the death penalty, but I truly think that some people are going to have to be hung (after a fair trial) to keep this from happening again. There's no way around it.
We must take the high road here. These monsters should get a fair trial before they are hung by the state for their crimes
